so what do you call a person that is more programmer than your avg business consultant, but more business consultant than your avg programmer?Are they a developer?
"My business card says: "Digital Developer" "Wow! They've gone digital? And all this time, we've been using Analog Developers!The first rule always has been and always will be "Titles are for suckers"
If you follow both the logic of the writer through both the Aesop fable and John Gray's original book...The profile that embodies quick, siloed, fix-it-now mentality is that of the man/MarsThe profile that is able to use multidisciplinary, multi-tasking skills on simultaneous levels is that of the woman/Venus.Hence, the title should be swapped to read:Programmers are from Mars and Developers are from Venus.Personally, I'm from Jupiter.
